6. My niece brought a little refrigerator over for the essentials

The freezer is still working so that's a relief. She and her husband are going to take me to the place where they got their refrigerator. Great prices and they deliver.

They are also going to take me out to look for a car, and they have a spare one should that become necessary for me.

My problem is that I had to take care of SO many older family members who were constantly needing me to do stuff for them that I hesitate being that way to someone else because I know how emotionally, physically and even financially draining it can be. I've always been so independent/self sufficient and becoming a 'burden' is my greatest fear.

That being said, my niece and her husband are building a new house and it will have a 'granny apartment' for me, with a catio for my kidcats. We'll see.
